Café Monteverde
Coffee culture was first brought to Monteverde in the early 1930s by families from Costa Rica’s central valley. As descendants of that group of pioneers, we have treasured their legacy for years so we can share it with you today. Today, we cover coffee production all the way from seed germination to ripe cherries, to processing as sun-dried beans, and roasting. A key player in our journey has been Texas Coffee Traders. On his first visit to Monteverde in 1990, RC Beal, helped local coffee farmers roast, taste and better understand the quality of the coffee they grew. Since then, they have played an essential role in promoting and developing Fair Trade practices in Costa Rica, through high skilled training, purchasing green beans at above-market prices, and investing in infrastructure to improve coffee quality. Our main farm is located in Cañitas, close to the Monteverde Cloud Forest, where we also roast and monitor quality in our cupping laboratory. We continue diversifying production with an organic vegetable garden, goats, pigs, and hens, and by maintaining half the land on this farm under forest cover, allowing for a balance between production and nature protection.
